2 embryo in 1 egg? Please look at picture

So I am Totally new to incubating. I have homemade styrafoam still-air bators that have been holding temp and humidity pretty steady. #1 has 3 muscovy eggs. (one is twice the size of the other 2 and is a double yolk) they are on day 21 and everything looks good inside. #2 has 7 chickens eggs and 2 mallard eggs, on day 9, also looking good inside.
be ready for the worst with the twins, most likely one if not both wont make it, and they will pip at opposite ends

So, I checked my muscovy eggs again last night and it looks like their air sacs are too small!! Theyre on day 22 this evening. Would it help to drop the humidity to say, 35% until closer to lockdown?
you could also sponge them 1x per day it will help to draw out moisture, it will up the humidity in the bator initially but will clear out quickly

I manually turn and I've started wetting down the eggs every few times I turn. I honestly wasnt even sure they were going to make it this far. I got my first chicks last spring, first ducks this spring, had a friend hatch a batch of my chickens eggs so there's 14 of them in the basement about 3 weeks old. I'm trying to convince one of my hens to brood and let one of my ducks brood some additional eggs She just laid. Ahhh, there's so many birds

Good morning my sweet friends, I haven't been on here in a few days my last infusion was hard on me and knocked me square on my butt!
Woke up today feeling so much better, I love the pictures of the ducks. I'm over loaded with them at the moment :(
Hopefully I will feel better the rest of the day :) it's supposed to be a beautiful day!
 
Hope you have a great day Lucy! Make the best of the days you feel good :hugs

We're all thinking of you.


Thank you my dear!
I plan on getting out of bed soon and hopefully doing a head count on the flock and feed them. Dh has been doing everything and I am sure he is ready for me to take back my job lol
 
Just don't overdo it.

I'm sure the ducks will be so happy to see you!


I'm sure they will be too, I saw them all walking to the house yesterday and it stunk not being able to go out and feed them. I was 50% better yesterday until the sun went down and the day hit me .. I won't be over doing anything today , just semi productibe will do just fine :)
